Not really, but the federal government has cut off access to this grand work of nature.

It's part of a pressure campaign to convince the American people that it really can't do without a bloated federal government.

Unfortunately for President Obama's propaganda efforts, with 83% of federal employees still reporting for work, and Social Security, Medicare and food stamp transfers still being made, most Americans aren't missing Big Government.

So Obama figures he'd better shut down some stuff that doesn't need government to stay open - and in the Grand Canyon's case, didn't need any government help to be created.
